[ Now that the hat is off, and the two of them are talking, and Onni is chipping away at Reynir's worries and reservations, he begins to relax, little bit little. He reaches up and without quite realizes it starts to scratch his scalp around the base of those horns. They do itch rather a lot, where they are emerging.
And Reynir can't help a little huff of a laugh when Onni says he wouldn't know what to do with a sheep. ]
You would figure it out really fast. Sheep are easy to work with.
[ More than anything else, what Reynir appreciates is the way Onni talks about it as a problem they will be working together to solve; no hesitation, no telling Reynir it's his business and he should deal with it himself. Onni is sure that, together, they can work something out. So maybe... they can. ]
Research is a good idea. I'm sure they've got books on them... uh, on us, I guess... at the Coven. I sort of know someone who is a faun and I talked to them for a little while about it, so I'm aware of a few things at least. Like about the fire and I guess I'm going to be really hyper around the full moon. Not because of going feral or anything, just - wired and chatty and obnoxious.
[ He pauses then for a little smile; he's sure if he were with his fellow explorers one of them would have already jumped in and made a joke about it just being business as usual, then. He misses them. ]
I don't want to lose track of any of it.
[ Reynir rubs at the back of his neck, wondering if he should try to explain further. But... no. He thinks maybe this just might be one of those things that Onni can't understand, because of who he is and the life he's lived. There are plenty of things Reynir can't understand about Onni, for the same reasons. ]
I kind of wish I was at least getting some cool powers. Fauns aren't super strong or super fast or anything like that. I guess most of what I've heard is they like drinking and gardening. So I've already been changing and I hadn't even realized it.
[ He nods towards the window, to the garden he had been beginning to plant. ]
